Also a special thanks to Tudor Girl, your indicators are phenomenal.. This system seems to good to be true.
Oho!! Wait until the new ones are released with the benefit of a month's live trading feedback, together with the optimised timeframes.

Yes, I have versions I where I can adjust the setting to suit any timeframe better than the default setting. But the real jewels lie in setting the timeframe to suit the system, as per my last (long!) post.

I am looking forward enormously to the next few weeks trading and getting the experience of the several really serious players who have joined the forum. As I said in my last post (and as other have said in other ways), the finest indicators in the wrong hands will lose money.

We now have everything...

- a winning philosophy
- the ability to turn any idea into rigorously software-engineered code in under an hour
- expert traders to show us how to use the tools we have created to the very best effect.

Perfect.

I don't think we have even begun to scratch the surface of the potential of this system.

TudorGirl,

Your post drawing parallels between fluid dynamics and Forex is very interesting indeed.
I love analogies like this, especially ones with turbulent and laminar flows in them!

There is aslo another fractal nature to the markets that we often don't think about and it is the nature of the time horizon of the investors themselves. It is what gives markets their stability. We here at the factory spend a lot of time bagging on each other for the style of trading ie. scalper, swing, positon, long term, etc. when that is exactly what makes this whole thing work. If we were all in for similar time horizons the whole retail forex market would tumble like a house of cards. A position trader may have valid reasons to short when at the exact same time a swing trader may have just as valid reasons to go long on the same pair. The broker then matches up theese two folks and volia. Yes it is a zero sum game, but guess what, we have two winners! What a deal. Don't you just love fractals. - MrWhipple

You're welcome, Anne. Pleased to hear it helped.
IMO the success of this system depends on whether we'll be able to stay put, use what we have and scientifically analyze what comes out of testing.
This will require a firm hand at the helm, though (that'd be you and Paulus), and obviously not allowing any more indicators on charts before we throuroughly tested strategies built onto existing ones.

take care and bake some more apple pies!

Help me out here.... This timezone stuff is confusing.

Paulus has said we will avoid the Asian session. The market opens for me (in the UK) at 2200 BST which is 2100 GMT. I take it that this is opening in Tokyo where it is some time on Monday morning???

So am I safe to go to bed and not worry about the markets until 0700 BST (0600 GMT), ie when I get up tomorrow as normal !?!?!?!

I am so looking forward to working with you guys in India, Los Angeles, Australia etc that I am losing track of when who is awake, who is asleep and what the deuce is going on....

Sorry! Help out a damsel in distress!

Anne... this article almost cracked my head!! Don't do this to me, poor me.... ...just kidding...

Math is really hard to me to understand, since my thick medicine brain has replaced the "math drive" with some anesthesiology skills... But, not at this level, I understand a bit of the turbulence/laminar flow concepts... In medicine we use them sometimes... The gas delivered to the lungs by the anesthesia machine is subjected to much interference of turbulence, pressure, lenght of the circuit.... Blood flowing thru our vessels are a good example too. In a baby, we got a nice blood vessel complacency, no atheromatosis, which smooths the flow to a very laminar feature... in elderly, with ateromatosis and hardening of the vessel's wall, plus weakening of the pump (heart), our blood flows more in a turbulent way, causing more stress to the arteries (which are exposed to more pressure), leading to micro lesions, clothing, more turbulence, and insufficient blood flow, and then we may have hypertension, infarctions, strokes...

Sorry for the long and a little off-topic post, but those kinds of similarities fascinate me!.... and c'mon... today is Sunday and I just had a nice lunch with some glasses of wine... hic...

Cheers!

Personally, trading from 7 am GMT onwards till 1 hr of US open is good enough to make enough Pips, US Sessions is very volatile due to news and other stuff coming out. This will be my timings i will be taking trades.

I am presently in the Middle East.

I found the easiest way to solve this is to look at the FF main page tomorrow morning it gives how many hours mins to London open..there is an overlap agreed when the Asian is still open and the London opens

we just need to miss the bulk of the Asian.

I have traded this method live now on 3 pairs and have done 41 trades.

I trade GBPUSD, GBPJPY, EURJPY and/or EURUSD in that order of preference.

Trading times 06h00-11h00 GMT and 13h00-16h00 GMT.
I use 60,15,5,1 and 240,60,15,5 for trend following trades and did a few scalps on 15,5,1 that is not reflected on the trading record.

I use the SAME MTF imdi you have on your chart. I do not have any other indicators on the charts except a MA because of habit.

I set 3 TP targets of 30 pips,40 pips and use a trailing stop which I move manually for the rest.

SL 30-40 pips depending on market volatility. GBPJPY SL up to 50 pips maximum with TP targets 40 and 50 pips.

I prefer not to get involved in the debate about whether the MTF should be " top-to-bottom" or whether it should be " bottom-to-top" and I do not really care whether you feel that your indicator is better or more reliable and whether feel your $%^# (ego) is bigger than the previous poster.


I really like the turbulent and laminar flow of pips into my trading account, in fact any inflow is OK with me.
Dr. Boleyn, I salute you for the patience and dedication!

GBPUSD 503 pips June1-June5

The other pairs I will add up and analyze tomorrow, I am now going to drink a bottle of Uiterwijk Merlot 2005 because tomorrow it will be 10 years that I am trading and I can`t bake apple pie.

Next post will be June 7, 2019 unless I have something useful to contribute before then.

Anne, and billbss (which asked a similar question) IMO what Paulus states is that we need some fuel to pump the engines (a defined trend), so we must avoid most of the Asian session.

NY close coincides with start of Australia, but I think is no-man's land... Australia is still waiting for Tokyo, which happens 3 hour later.... so, at this time, If I correctly understood, no trade at all. After Tokyo opens, I gues is a consensus that we don't see strong trends very often (some times, occurs with JPY pairs...) so, it's also a no-trade time, perhaps JPY pairs only?...

At late Tokyo session, Frankfurt opens, and 1 hour later, London... I guess that's when we must start looking for our bacon...

Anyway, I'm just wandering (after a couple of glass wines... )

Cheers!

Hi HT

Interesting post.

My day job at the moment is a big research project with a number of international medical schools working on a completely new approach to MS.

The whole thing hinges critically on the vascular haemodynamics. We have clinicians collecting doppler ultrasound measurements from MS patients etc but the main thrust is the haemodynamic model of the entire vascular system which I have written in conjunction with Harvard.

It is very interesting mathematics. The perfusion to the brain is of critical importance, as is plasma and erythrocyte leakage across the blood-brain barrier.

Could talk all day about it but I guess for you, it is "shop" and for everyone else, off-topic. However, we could exchange PM!!
